Located on the Heritage Trail in historic old Bayfield, Birdsong offers you and your family the comforts of home without the hustle and bustle of big-city life. After a relaxing sleep, wake up in the morning and enjoy your coffee on the private deck as the local bird population serenades you with their "birdsong". A short walk to most attractions in town, including Historic Main Street, Pioneer Park, with its stunning sunsets, and the beaches adjacent to the marina and pier.
The house comfortably sleeps six and charms with historical touches throughout from its large harvest dining table, local barn-beam bench and pieces from the renowned Imperial Furniture Company of Stratford.
Have Birdsong be your base for a getaway of exploring the treasures of Huron County and the Bluewater area, or just relaxing with a book from the well-appointed bookshelf selections.
INSIDE Main floor sitting room with gas fireplace Cooking is a joy in the fully equipped kitchen with gas stove and everything you need to prepare your favorite dishes. Family Room great for games or movie night! TV has a Firestick so you can login to your own Netflix/PrimeVideo/Disney account It's always handy to have laundry facilities with washer/dryer.
NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request
OUTSIDE Out back you'll appreciate the huge yard for games Curl up with a good book or those treasured holiday naps under the trees! Personally I love the back deck where I can chat the afternoon away. You'll enjoy BBQ favorites on the back patio at a nice proper dining table. Share laughter and stories around the campfire at night - rare to have a firepit in the village!
NOTE: I expect we will have more beach this summer 2023, depending on lake levels and what the lake pushes up. There are lake accesses all along Tuyll Street which is a great adventure to find your favorite! And you can walk 2 min to the Main Beach. The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

ABOUT YOUR HOST I’m Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I’ve never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It’s my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.
EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it’s easy to experience each day to its fullest. Stroll Clan Gregor Square and let the kids cool down at the splash pad, or discover your new favorite cafe or restaurant just a block away in the downtown area. Visit during the off-season to catch favorite annual events like VetteFest or for a girl's getaway weekend—we're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, shops, and yoga classes.
Bayfield is a “Blue Community” - visitors won’t find bottled water in public facilities or at events but they will find a portable refillable water bottle station operated by pedal-power and five water bottle refill stations at public facilities located throughout the village.
